Connecting One Maps Location to many other Locations(Base Stations to clients)

I have connectivity data. I have two tables and the following columns. 

For the clients' table, A client May have many sites.  and each site has its own coordinates as shown below


Clients Table

Client Site Base Station Name Client_latitude Client_longitude  
Client A Site A BS A 0.0034 34.3435  
Client A Site B BS B 1.45434 36.56454  
Client B Site A BS B 2.343534 31.45439  
Client B Site B BS C -1.8524 34.50053  
Client B Site C BS A 0.4443223 35.4543223  
Client B Site D BS D 0.4533134 38.556343  
Client C Site A BS F 1.3855342 36.334353  
CLient C Site B BS B 1.009995 0.098757  

 

 

For the base stations, they are just the coordinates and names of the BS as shown below. 

 

Base Stations Table

Base Stations BS_lat BS_long
BS A 1.35876 33.55634
BS B 2.34632 34.74545
BS C 1.54632 35.57997
BS D 1.64325 32.56577
BS E 0.454326 31.0000
BS F 0.674236 32.88989

 

So the ask at hand is to connect the base stations with some sort of lines to show which clients are being served by which Base stations. 

e.g. BS A (Base Station A) should be located on a map with its coordinates and have two lines connecting Site A of CLient A and
site C of Client B. 

Base Station B should have 3 sites connected to it. 
How do I achieve this

Hi @Anonymous ,

try below steps

  1. Load your tables into Power BI: Import both the Clients table and the Base Stations table into Power BI as separate tables.

  2. Create a relationship: Create a relationship between the "Base Stations" column in the Clients table and the "Base Stations" column in the Base Stations table. This relationship will allow you to connect the two tables based on the common values in the Base Stations column.

  3. Add a map visual: Add a map visual to your Power BI report canvas. You can find the map visual under the "Visualizations" pane.

  4. Configure the map visual: Drag the "BS_lat" column from the Base Stations table to the "Location" field well of the map visual. This will plot the base stations on the map based on their latitude and longitude coordinates.

  5. Add lines between base stations and client sites: To connect the client sites to the corresponding base stations, you can use the "Line and Clustered Column Chart" custom visual in Power BI. You can download this visual from the Power BI Marketplace.

    a. Once installed, add the Line and Clustered Column Chart visual to your report canvas. b. Drag the "Client_latitude" and "Client_longitude" columns from the Clients table to the "X Axis" and "Y Axis" field wells of the visual. c. Drag the "Base Stations" column from the Clients table to the "Legend" field well. d. You should now see lines connecting the client sites to their respective base stations on the map.

  6. Format the visuals: Format the map visual and the Line and Clustered Column Chart visual as per your requirements, adjusting colors, line styles, and labels to make the visualization more visually appealing and informative.
